Shipper Spotlight is a monthly editorial by your very own Shipper-expert, Stella.  Each month I will take a look at the developing and new relationships (romantic, familial, platonic, and team-oriented) that appear in the Bat-books.  How are these relationships progressing?  Which are portrayed well?  Which should never exist?  What is my pick for SHIPPER OF THE MONTH?  Stay tuned each month for this serious look into the world of fictional relationships.   The Shippers as they stand now after issue #5 (ie. the month of January):

  Though some of the newness may have worn off, DC Comics — The New 52 continues into its second month as I continue to chronicle all that we can learn from each week's books about Batman and his new history.

Originally when the mini-series and one-shots were announced, it was with the idea that most things under the Flashpoint banner could be considered and Elseworlds/What-If tale. Now, we're to understand that it's going to have long-term consequences within the…
